Creamy, smooth, frosty, fruity... in a cone or in a jar, the ice creams of the Marais artisans offer as many flavors as regressive and sulphurous textures, because all tastes are natural.
Before giving in to the call of an Eskimo with artificial flavors, our team of volunteers guides you on a journey towards the ideal ice cream that promises taste experiences that are as tasty as they are addictive.
Hoct&Loca ice cream
Chocolate ice cream in a chocolate bar, what could be more natural, even commonplace? But enough of the commonplace! Hoct&Loca has concocted an artisanal Madagascar vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate melted at 32 degrees which, upon contact with the cold, crystallizes and transforms into a crispy-melting coating.
The temptation is great and the experience intense. The chocolatier, to double the pleasure of his customers, has set the bar high by offering to cover the cone and the ice cream with one of his 6 grand cru chocolates.
Imagine an Italian-style ice cream entirely coated with a layer of full-bodied dark chocolate, exotic dark chocolate, soft milk or hazelnut, dulce de leche or for the most excessive, white chocolate with colors and flavors of mango, yuzu, strawberry or matcha.

Bachir Ice Cream
Proudly Lebanese, authentic, and 100% organic, Bachir 's ice creams come from afar. The ice cream parlor was founded in Lebanon in 1936 and has continued ever since in Paris. The recipes evolve without losing any of their originality, if we are to believe the fans who queue up to taste his signature ice creams sprinkled with crushed pistachios.
Beyond the 12 creations with unexpected scents of rose petals, almond, pistachio or milk flower made without cream, the invitation to travel becomes irresistible in front of Ashta, a Lebanese specialty made from orange blossom, mastic ( natural resin from the pistachio tree) and milk cream coated with pistachios. For those who are impatient, the ice cream parlor offers boxes of eight classic or oriental balls for delivery, to be enjoyed with or without pistachios.

Plaisir secret
Pozzetto ice cream
Here we are in front of a little corner of Italy popular with lovers of “old-fashioned Italian ice cream” who want to keep the address secret as the front is so discreet.
Pozzetto is THE gelateria where ice cream made with fresh, 100% natural milk is produced daily in the purest Italian tradition. The gelateria's motto, "the pleasure of taste above all," remains true. Just try one of its 12 flavors, generously served in crisp cones, and you'll be captivated by their creamy and delicious texture.
The classic straciatella, coffee, fior di latte-biscuit chocolate chips and yogurt ice creams covered with “homemade hazelnut spread” ignite our taste buds, while the seasonal fruit sorbets, melon, raspberry, coconut or mint without artificial colors or flavors, promise an explosion of freshness from the first frozen bite.

Plume Homemade Ice Cream
Maison Plume doesn't just make our dreams come true by creating sugar-free and gluten-free pastries and desserts that are nonetheless full of flavor and moistness. That would be too little for a young institution brimming with inspiration.
In fine weather, the pastry shop offers us ice creams with seasonal fruits and gourmet flavors of pistachio, organic vanilla from Madagascar and other great classics, always without sugar, without gluten, without flavoring, without additives or coloring!
The more adventurous will be tempted by combinations that do not lack spice such as the apricot-rosemary or raspberry-tarragon sorbet before rushing to the Valrhona dark chocolate sorbet, sugar-free and lactose-free, totally subversive!
